Before one comments on the jury verdict here, one should fully apprize oneself as to the elements of the charge against this officer.
The elements of the charge were enacted by the legislature of the state of Minnesota long before this incident occurred.
Be swayed not by your feelings, but be swayed by what the jury was forced to consider in light of the duly enacted law. They wrestled with this for 72 hours. How many seconds are you wrestling with this before you type in your opinions here?
